Sounds it. Thanks. Two years sucks. I guess Stihl and Husky are making disposable PRO saws then.
I would be pissed is a skid steer or mini died after two years of heavy use. Or any other piece of construction equipment for that matter.
Police cars and taxis go 24/7 and get a few years at least out of them with little to no maintenance. And that's a simple Ford never mind a higher end maker.
Sounds like there is room for a new chainsaw company. There are plenty of single cylinder simple engines out there that are reliable after multiple years of heavy use.
I never realized the PROs ate up their saws in two years. Disappointed to say the least.
Who says they're disposable? You are comparing apples and oranges. Name me another gas fueled entity that turns as fast as a chainsaw short of a formula 1 race car and tell me it has to so for 2 years. Look at the surface area that this one piston has to spread out its friction. Its tiny. Then lean this sucker out so it moves as fast as possible. Its like calling a funny car a "disposable car" after it has to be torn down after one run. This wood game is not about how long things last. Its about producing as much product and in as short as time as possible. A chainsaw in this regard is simply part of collateral damage and well worth it. I was never disappointed with any of my saws. I thought they were engineering marvels to go as long as they did considering what was being asked of them. That is why a pro chainsaw can last a life time for the average user no matter who makes it.
